Bitcoin ETF Battle Heats Up: 'US Government Plans To Seize All BTC ETFs,' Warns Max Keiser
Portfolio Pulse from Murtuza Merchant
Max Keiser, a Bitcoin maximalist, has warned that the U.S. government plans to seize all Bitcoin ETFs, which he views as illegitimate and not offering real Bitcoin ownership. Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart countered Keiser's claims, arguing that Bitcoin ETFs do provide ownership through shares linked to custodied Bitcoin and are less problematic than gold ETFs. The debate highlights a divide in the Bitcoin community between those who prioritize direct ownership and those who see ETFs as a means to mainstream adoption.
